    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Rep Fraud] Impersonation with intent to defraud
    Virtual item type involved: [CSGO] Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Items

    Accused profile: 76561198176545669

    Victim profile: 76561197983311223

    What happened? Description:
    Zoldyck added me and said he'd buy items for cash, but only with "a legit middleman admin".
    He agreed to my price of 100€ for my knife + 2x40€ for two Asiimovs and then went and added the middleman, or so he said.
    Zoldyck already has a scammer tag, so I wanted to find out if it maybe is a yet untagged account.
    It was someone using ☆Penguin The Fluffy's name and copying his profile in its entirety.
    I have encountered this impersonator just yesterday, which is why I believe both scammers left the group chat immediately after the fake Penguin joined. He might have remembered me.

    Since both these scammers did make it a habit of not wanting to add me originally, there might be a high concentration of scammers on the fake Penguin's friends list.

    No items or money were exchanged.​

    Provide Evidence:
    Screenshots of chat and both scammer's profiles, Zoldyck's friends list with the fake Penguin the Fluffy on it.​

    Can't really be bothered wasting my time on ✿✿✿✿✿✿s who'd get trade banned and just create the exact same account. The value of items that specific impersonator has managed to scam is disgusting.
